Different hypotheses about the role of genes in the development of bipolar disorder have been proposed. One theory says the risk for bipolar disorder is due to a few susceptibility genes; another says that many susceptibility genes contribute modestly to the risk for disease.
Dermatophytosis is an infection of the hair, skin, or nails caused by a dermatophyte, which is most commonly of the Trichophyton genus and less commonly of the Microsporum or Epidermophyton genera.Tinea capitis, tinea pedis, and onychomycosis are common dermatologic diseases that may result from such an infection.ermatophytosis is an infection of the hair, skin, or nails caused by a dermatophyte, which is most commonly of the Trichophyton genus and less commonly of the Microsporum or Epidermophyton genera.
Dermatophytes (derived from Greek Î´Î­ÏÎ¼Î±ÏÎ¿Ï (dermatos), from Î´Î­ÏÎ¼Î±, which means skin and -phyte, from phuton, phutÃ³n meaning) plant are a common label for a group of three types of fungus that commonly causes skin disease in animals and. humans special agar called Dermatophyte Test Medium (DTM) has been formulated to grow and identify dermatophytes. Without having to look at the colony, the hyphae, or macroconidia-one can identify the dermatophyte by a simple color test. The specimen (scraping from skin, nail, or hair) is embedded in the DTM culture medium.
